Method

  1. In a blender or food processor, purée all ingredients except salmon, and oil until smooth. With the machine running, slowly drizzle in the oil.
  2. Pour into a gallon size zip-top bag. Add salmon and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes.
  3. Heat about 28 charcoal briquets in a large chimney starter. Disperse evenly around the bottom of the grill.
  4. Reapply the grate. Quickly grease the grate with the towel.
  5. Add the salmon skin side down and cook, covered, turning often, until pink throughout and flakes easily when tested with a fork.
  6. Remove to a plate and cover with aluminum foil. Let rest 5–7 minutes before serving warm.
